Lyrics:

there was a hummingbird just outside the glass that
separated us from the rain. he looked in for just a
moment…and then flew away…i couldn’t help thinking
how simple his life must be.

we sat quietly in the warm swirling bubbles…i don’t
think i could have loved her more. then at that very
moment…..there was this little bead of water that was
making it’s way down her long, silky, wet hair…and i
said to myself…if i can count to ten…before it
drops….she’ll love me forever. i barely got to
seven…before it fell like a rock…and ran slowly
down over her bare shoulders….and disappeared into
the bubbles again.

two outta three

i must have been looking at her for a long
time…before i realized she was looking back…and
that day in the rain was a million memories ago.

the cafe was getting noisier..the coffee was getting
colder….and finally, she began to explain why it was
over. i couldn’t believe it was actually happening…i
was watching her talk…but i couldn’t hear the
words…iwas dying inside….and she never looked more
beautiful. even after she was gone…i could still
smell her perfume. i always would.

another time. another place.
was it love. and not a waste.
i didn’t know then. it wasn’t to be.
you should’ve gone. two outta three.

i got up to leave…and stepped out into the
rain….stuck my hand in my coat pocket and pulled out
the rose i had meant to give her. the wilted petals
fell to the ground…and i counted them out…still
trying to beatthe odds…she loves me…she loves me
not. two outta three.

another time. another place.
was it love. and not a waste.
i didn’t know then. it wasn’t to be.
you should’ve gone. two outta three.
